Anyway, you can also:
a) use stunnel on your webmail server, e.g.
/usr/sbin/stunnel -c -d localhost:imap -r myimapserver.yournetexperts.com:simap
and then tell squirrelmail that the imap server is localhost. That way all communication between imap server and webmail server is encrypted. I assume they are 2 different machines?
b) user imapproxy
http://www.imapproxy.org/
which may be a good idea anyway. I believe they now can also proxy encrypted imap. I am more familiar with horde project (also php based) and there an imap proxy sitting between imap server and webmail server proved beneficial for perfomance. This is due to the constant tearing down and rebuilding of imap connections - imapproxy caches them and speeds up thing considerably.

I recently installed a RedHat Linux 7.2 system. I have all the latest updates (up2date) and have loaded uw-imap. I have been successful in connecting to the e-mail to get POP and IMAP working via SSL. I would like to provide Web-Based e-mail access to the system. I intended to use SqirrelMail, but read in the notes that it does not work with IMAPS. Does anyone have another suggestion or has someone found how to get SqirrelMail to work without enabling plain text passwords?
